Dachigam National Park Adventure
If you are a nature lover than you must visit a national park. This is a place
where the animals can be seen in their native habitats and not in a zoo in
captivity. The national parks help preserve flora and fauna of the local area
in their original state. We the tourists are outsiders willing to see them while
the animals are comfortable in their home. You can see many rare species
of trees and animals in this reserve.

Lake in National Park
Since we know that the Dachigam Park is spread in a vast area it also
includes Manas lake which is contributes to a tributary of Dagwan river.
Since the water is not stagnant, there are many fresh water fish found in it.
Trout is a priced fish found in the lake. You can do fishing in the lake with
proper prior permission. You can spend a whole day here and you will still
not have seen the whole of it. It is easy to be lost in the mesmerizing beauty
of this place.
Various Trees in National Park
The reserve forest consists of coniferous trees that have broad leaves. You
can see many fruit trees like wild cherries, plum, peaches, apple, walnut
and apricot trees. When they are fruit laden the sight is so colourful in the
winter season the ground is full of various colourful seasonal local flowers.
Other trees found here are oak, pine, chinar, poplar, birch. elm, and willow.
